▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
This biography is not just about Hitler's life story,
but also a microcosm of an era.
Was Hitler's rise inevitable?
Hitler's dictatorship always had opportunities to be stopped, but there were also too many coincidences and chances.
Did history create Hitler, or did Hitler create history?
➔ If the young, idle Hitler had passed the entrance exam to art school back then
➔ If Hitler, who evaded Austrian military service, had been sent to prison instead
➔ If the bullet that hit a key Nazi party member during Hitler's coup had been off by just a palm's width more
➔ If Hitler had left the party and not been persuaded to stay...
Thomas Sandkühler, a history professor at Humboldt University of Berlin, uses seven stages, titled "Loser," "Rising Star," "Leader," "Commander," "Butcher," "Mole," and "Undead," to interweave Hitler's life's ups and downs with the pre-history and history of Nazi Germany. This book is not just a biography; it also documents the social changes and developments in Germany and Austria in the first half of the 20th century, as well as significant interwar events and their impact. Sandkühler's writing is meticulous and refined, with a touch of historical irony; behind every explanation is a wealth of information, with all current research findings digested into the narrative, leaving no ambiguous analysis. The book also includes as many as sixty to seventy images rarely seen in the media or even never disclosed, hoping to open up a different perspective for readers.
